We're an outdoor brand that has designed our collection using a material which is incredibly strong yet environmentally friendly in its production, use and disposal. Our products are both non-toxic and non-plasticizer, compared to other harmful single use materials currently being used across outdoor products such as pvc, plastic, nylon and tarpaulin.
TPU stands for Thermoplastic Polyurethane and is a kind of Thermoplastic Elastomer. Bridging the gap between rubber and plastics, this class of material boasts a litany of desirable characteristics renowned for many applications including: Elasticity, Liquid Resistance, Abrasion Resistance, High Strength and Heat Resistance.
High temperature resistance and dimensional stability
Very good low temperature toughness
Superior dynamic properties: flexible and elastic
Excellent abrasion, scratch and wear resistance
High tear strength
Excellent weather & UV resistance
Excellent welding characteristics and adhesion
Denier (D) is a metric used to describe what is essentially thickness or density. Adventure backpacks used for outdoor activities such as watersports, hiking, fishing and camping can commonly be found in the industry standard range of 450–600D. We make our backpack with a denier measurement of 840D, putting our packs in the "incredibly tough" category. The added bonus is that even at a high denier, TPU material is lighter than most materials normally used including PVC, Nylon and Cotton.
TPU maintains its flexibility while being waterproof and lightweight. When closed correctly, our backpack is 100% splash resistant and waterproof when submerged for a short period, keeping your gear safe and dry. With its lightweight structure, when closed, air is trapped inside and your bag will float on the surface.
